Today i decided to do something about the bumper bodies and bumper caps.. as you can see in the 1st two pics they are pretty bloody ordinary!! I had already decided months ago i was going to make decals to repair these, as exact replacements would be near impossible to find i would think.

So the first thing i did was to scan one each of the caps and bodies into my PC, clean up and touch up the images in Photostudio, and print them onto A4 size clear inkjet adhesive. last two pics show the printed decals ready to be applied.

For the bumper caps i boughht three new Gottlieb caps from a (Jungle Princes i think they were from) and removed the hot stamped art with a small amount of thinners on some rag.. the thinners DIDN'T hurt the plastic at all, believe it or not! hence why i didnt use too much thinners, just in case!! (i had tried this in the past on old bumper caps with success).
